Abstract: In a Raman microscope, Raman scattered light from an illuminated area on a sample 10 is collected by an objective 12 and imaged by a lens 18 onto a detector in an image plane 20. A filter 16 selects only light of a desired Raman wavenumber shift. Since the tuning of this filter is sensitive to the angle of incidence, it is placed after the lens 18 instead of before it, and the distance from the objective 12 to the lens 18 is made substantially equal to the focal length of the lens 18. This ensures that chief rays 14A',14B' from different points on the sample 10 pass through the filter 16 at the same angle of incidence. The wavenumber selected by the filter is therefore the same for light from all points on the sample, which it would not be if the filter were placed before the lens 18.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for manufacturing pharmaceutical capsules use an aqueous solution of a thermogelling cellulose ether composition and use capsule body pins and capsule cap pins as molds. The method involves heating the pins, dipping the pins into the solution to cause the solution to gelatinize on the surface of the pins, removing the pins and drying the gelatinized solution on the surface of the pins to form capsule bodies and capsule caps. The capsule parts may have a thick wall and a stiffening ring and the capsule parts are removed by gripping. The invention solves the problem of cracking at the dip-line edge by breaking adhesion between the capsule part and the pin before removing the capsule part from the pin.

Abstract: A multiple angle tomographic system includes a rotating gantry with a source,
e.g., an x-ray source, and detector array combination mounted thereon so as to acquire
a plurality of projections of objects passing through the gantry. A pre-screen subsystem
utilizes a subset of the projections from those that can be acquired during a full scan so
as to define a first plurality of projections - e.g., eight projections - that are sufficient
analyze whether there is a likelihood that a targeted object, e.g., a firearm and/or plastic
explosives is present. If there is a likelihood that a targeted object is present, a full-image
CT reconstruction is commanded, automatically or manually, so as to verify and
more fully assess the detected object. This combination of pre-screen and selective full-image
CT reconstruction provides thorough inspection of closed containers, e.g.,
passenger luggage, by providing multiple angle and perspective viewing of targeted
objects.

Abstract: In an optical pulse characteristic measuring apparatus,
optical pulses to be measured are introduced at the incident
end, and split at a beam splitter 1. A first resultant light
beam is reflected by a mirror 2 as a local oscillation light
of homodyne detection and is adjusted in a delay element 3 so
as to have the same optical path length as that of the second
resultant light beam. Subsequently, the first light beam is
led to an optical mixer 7. The second light beam is
reflected by a mirror 5, which is controlled by a signal from
a signal generator 4 for modulation of optical path length
difference. The second light beam is then reflected by a
delay element 6 and is led to the optical mixer 7. The two
light beams combined at the optical mixer 7 are detected by
optical detectors 8 and 9. The AC signal component generated
by modulation of the optical path length difference is
amplified up to a measurable voltage by a differential
amplifier 10. A bandpass filter 11 passes only the AC signal
component generated by modulation of the optical path length
difference, thereby improving the S-N ratio. By using an AC
voltmeter 12 to measure the AC signal component corresponding
to the delay of the delay element 6 for correlation length
measurement, the auto-correlation signal can be obtained.
Accordingly, it is possible to measure the characteristics of
optical pulses with high sensitivity and high stability.

Abstract: A system for measuring the non-methane HC concentration of gas sample, e.g.,
automotive exhaust gas, comprises a sensor catalyst capable of selectively oxidizing the
combination of CO+ H 2 +alkene hydrocarbons in a gas sample and a catalytic differential
calorimetric sensor downstream of the sensor catalyst, capable of producing an output
signal representative of the exothermic effect of oxidation of the remaining aromatic and
alkane hydrocarbons in the gas sample. The system also includes a heater for
maintaining both the sensor catalyst and the catalytic calorimetric sensor at a
temperature sufficient to effect substantially complete oxidation of the CO+H 2 +alkene
hydrocarbon combination and the aromatic and alkane hydrocarbons, respectively.
Lastly, the system includes a means for analyzing the output signal representative of the
concentration of unburned aromatic and alkane hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas to
determine concentration of the total non-methane hydrocarbon species. A method
carried out by the system comprises the following steps: (1) contacting a portion of a
exhaust gas sample with a sensor catalyst which selectively oxidizes a combination of
CO+H 2 +alkene hydrocarbons; and thereafter, (2) contacting the oxidized portion of the
exhaust gas sample with a sensor producing an output signal representative of the
concentration of the aromatic and alkane hydrocarbons in the oxidized exhaust gas
portion; (3) analyzing the output signal thereby determining the total hydrocarbon
concentration in the exhaust gas.

Abstract: A method is provided for forming non-overlapping clock
signals 402 and 404 for an integrated circuit. A reference
clock 300 whose frequency is twice that of a desired operating
frequency for the integrated circuit is used. A master clock
signal is formed which has a high pulse width T9a which is
approximately the same as the high pulse width of the
reference clock, but the frequency of the master clock is one
half the frequency of the reference clock. Likewise, a slave
clock signal is formed which has a high pulse width T10a which
is approximately the same as the high pulse width of the
reference clock, but the frequency of the slave clock is also
one half the frequency of the reference clock. The high pulse
width of either or both the master clock signal and slave
clock signal is then widened by an analog delay means, but by
an amount T13 and T14 which is less than the low pulse width
of the reference clock, so that the master clock signal and
the slave clock signal do not overlap each other. As the
propagation time of circuit elements within the integrated
circuit varies due to changes in operating temperature or
voltage, the analog delay T13 and T14 is changed
proportionally to compensate for the changes in propagation
time of the circuit elements.

Abstract: A recording head system for an ink jet
recording apparatus having a full-line recording
head. The recording head is divided into a
variable number of blocks. The recording ratio
of each block (that is, the ratio of the number
of ink ejecting elements to be driven in a block
in accordance with recording data to the total
number of the ink ejecting elements in the block)
is compared with a reference recording ratio.
When the recording ratio is greater than the
reference recording ratio, the interval between
the drive timing of a block and that of the next
block is lengthened, or vise versa. This is
performed by controlling the enable timing of
each block by D-flip-flops (22), AND gates (21,
102) and delay circuits (24). Unevenness of
recorded images resulting from the fluctuation in
periodic ink pressure can be ameliorated.

Abstract: A data processing method which efficiently
performs data transfer by using a data bus with an
appropriate access width corresponding to transfer data
and a printer using the data processing method. In the
printer, a CPU bus 70 having a 16-bit physical bus width,
is shared by a CPU 21 and a DMAC 80. In a case where
the CPU 21 accesses a memory via the CPU bus 70 with an
8-bit width, while the DMAC 80 accesses the memory via
the CPU bus 70 with a 16-bit width, each time the DMAC
80 needs to access the memory, the DMAC 80 issues a DMA
request signal to the CPU 21, requiring an exclusive
access right for the CPU bus 70. In accordance with the
request signal, the CPU 21 delivers the exclusive access
right for the CPU bus 70 to the DMAC 80. Then the DMAC
80 controls memory access with the 16-bit width.
